The forum will be held under the slogan “Energy. Partnership. Progress.” Key topics will include the development of the Galkynysh gas field, implementation of the Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India (TAPI) gas pipeline project, and investment opportunities in Turkmenistan’s sector of the Caspian Sea.
